x2-12x + 23 = 0
Which of the following is a solution to the given equation?

  1. negative 12 plus square root of 11
  2. 12 plus square root of 11
  3. negative 6 plus square root of 13
  4. 6 plus square root of 13

The correct answer is: 6 plus square root of 13


    Given x2 – 12x + 23 = 0
    equals fraction numerator negative b plus-or-minus square root of b squared minus 4 a c end root over denominator 2 a end fraction
    a = 1, b = -12, c = 23
    equals fraction numerator 12 plus-or-minus square root of left parenthesis negative 12 right parenthesis squared minus 4 left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis left parenthesis 23 right parenthesis end root over denominator 2 left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis end fraction
    equals fraction numerator 12 plus-or-minus square root of 144 minus 92 end root over denominator 2 end fraction
